Our Story

Do you remember the birthdays of your 50+ friends and family members?

What Ta-Da is today is built on our founder's personal and professional experiences, shaped by years of customer feedback — and a stubborn belief that the world's celebrations deserve one great platform.

The Problem

A fragmented world. A broken ecosystem.

The personal gap

Reminder apps notify you but don't help you celebrate. The tools are fragmented — one app for reminders, another for gifts, another for wishes — and none are connected. People still forget, or remember too late to do anything meaningful.

The market gap

The global celebrations ecosystem — birthdays, anniversaries, festivals — touches every culture and every person on earth. It is a multi-billion dollar space with no single platform owning the end-to-end experience. No dominant player. The category is still open.

The Founder's Journey

Built through everything.

12 years. Three pivots. Three COVID waves. One mission.

2014

Started first venture. Learned what it means to build from zero.

2015

Launched My VR — one of India's early VR startups.

2018

Shut down My VR after co-founder forgery. Hard lessons in trust and resilience.

Early 2019

Started Ta-Da as a salon marketplace. MVP built. Ready to launch.

March 2020

COVID hits. Operations paused.

2021

Relaunched. Delta wave. Paused again.

2022

Relaunched. Omicron. Paused again.

2023–2024

Pivoted to payment automation marketplace. Built and tested MVP for close to a year. Found a fundamental distribution risk: growth depended entirely on a business's employees promoting the product — growth was not in our control.

2025

Refocused entirely on celebrations. Raised funding. Built on top of MVP based on user feedback and insights. Approaching PMF.

Why Now

The technology is here. The market is ready. So are we.

AI is ready

Generative AI can now personalise a celebration in seconds. Face-customised wishes, AI-planned events, smart reminders that help you act — not just notify.

The moment is global

Birthdays and anniversaries happen every day, everywhere. 8 billion people. No culture skips celebrations. No dominant platform serves them all.

The ecosystem is broken

Gifts, wishes, reminders, venue booking, group gifting — all separate apps, none talking to each other. The winner will own the full loop.

What We're Building

One platform. Two sides. The full celebrations ecosystem.
